Main Corridors or Axes

According to the SICT, there are 15 main corridors or axes in Mexico, consisting of 9 longitudinal corridors running from north to south and 6 transversal corridors running from east to west, with a total length of approximately 22,036.6 km.[2]

The main road corridors align with the country’s key logistics corridors, which are connected to major logistical nodes, including ports and border points.

Throughout the country, state highways predominate, particularly free state roads, followed by free federal roads, while toll roads have a smaller share. Some highways managed by the federal government make up the main road corridors, providing access and communication to major cities, borders, and seaports. These corridors handle the majority of freight transportation. Some segments are toll-free, while others require payment of a toll for use.

Classifications of Federal Jurisdiction Roads and Bridges3

The following section presents the roads classification based on the “Regulations on the Weight, Dimensions, and Capacity of Freight Vehicles that Transit on Federal Jurisdiction Roads and Bridges.”

  • Type ET Road: These are part of the transportation axes established by SICT. Their geometric and structural characteristics allow for the operation of all authorized vehicles with maximum dimensions, capacity, and weight, as well as other vehicles authorized by the Ministry for general interest, confined to this type of road.
  • Type A Road: Due to their geometric and structural characteristics, these roads permit the operation of all authorized vehicles with maximum dimensions, capacity, and weight, except for those vehicles that, due to their size and weight, are only allowed on Type ET roads.
  • Type B Road: These form the primary network and, based on their geometric and structural characteristics, provide inter-state communication services while also facilitating transit.
  • Type C Road: Secondary network roads that provide service within the state, with average lengths, establishing connections with the primary network.
  • Type D Road: Feeder roads that, due to their geometric and structural characteristics, primarily serve within the municipal area with relatively short lengths, connecting with the secondary network.[3]

Strategic Projects

  • National Highway Infrastructure program 2025-2030

Banobras / Fonadin

The National Bank of Public Works and Services (Banobras) and the National Infrastructure Fund (Fonadin) participate in the financing of infrastructure projects in Mexico, including highways and bridges. Fonadin also manages 50 toll highways in Mexico, and the surplus resources generated are invested in infrastructure projects such as roads, trains, and bridges.

Banobras

Project Finance: In order to support the financing of infrastructure projects and public services, the Project Finance Unit structures financing supported by the granting of loans and guarantees to those projects developed as Public-Private Partnerships and which have their own source of payment from the exploitation of the concession or public contract or from the collection of the service in question. The Public-Private Partnership schemes may be Federal and/or Local, in their different modalities, such as: Concessions, Service Provision Projects (PPS) or Financed Public Works Contracts, among others.

Products:

  • Direct credit for infrastructure projects and public services
  • Infrastructure financing through financial intermediaries
  • Financial Guarantee
  • Guaranteed Refinancing

Financing for States and Municipalities and Decentralized Public Organizations: The products and services are designed to meet the infrastructure needs of states, municipalities and their decentralized public organizations, in order to improve the quality of life of the population and increase competitiveness.

Infrastructure is a pillar of development, which is why Banobras has innovative products and services focused on contributing to regional development through the promotion of financial mechanisms to:

Boost investment in infrastructure and public services.
Promote the financial and institutional strengthening of states, municipalities and decentralized public agencies.
To this end, Banobras has the following financing schemes:

Products:

  • Simple Credit and Restructuring and/or Refinancing
  • Current Account Loans

Project Development: Banobras offers services aimed at assisting public sector agencies and entities in the development of infrastructure projects.

Financial structuring of the project:

  1. Elaborate and/or update studies required by the Public-Private Partnerships Law.
  2. Support in the review of the bidding conditions and contract model.
  3. Assist in obtaining financing for the project.
  4. Assist in the registration process of the project in the portfolio of the Investment Unit of the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (SHCP).
  5. Assist in dealing with any observations made by the SHCP Investment Unit.
  6. Support in the financial closing of the project.

Trust Businesses:

Banobras, as a highway concessionaire, administers, operates, conserves, and maintains those highway sections concessioned by the Federal or State governments to any agency or even to private companies, which in turn mandate Banobras to establish a trust to maintain and operate them under this business scheme. Examples of this include the following:

  • Fonadin Concessioned Network
  • Atlacomulco – Maravatío Higway
  • Guadalajara – Colima Highway

Fonadin

The purpose of the National Infrastructure Fund (Fonadin) is to serve as the Federal Public Administration’s coordination vehicle for infrastructure investment.

Sustainability

Banobras makes available to interested parties, analysis sheets for the detection of sustainability practices in infrastructure projects, in accordance with the methodological framework “Attributes and Framework for Sustainable Infrastructure” of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). Its objective is to highlight sustainable practices, encourage their adoption in future projects and provide relevant information for investors in their economic, environmental, social and institutional dimensions.

To consult the projects that already have a sustainability record, select the “SEARCH CRITERIA>” option in the PROJECTS section, and then select “With Sustainability Analysis”; the projects that have a record will be displayed below.

In addition, Banobras offers an analysis tool that presents the potential relationship of the different infrastructure projects of the Mexico Projects platform with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda and their targets. This comparative analysis facilitates the use of data according to different criteria, such as the potential impact of projects and sectors against national and global development goals.

The comparison is only made between projects in the same subsector. To select and consult here.

The alignment of a project with the SDGs provides information on the degree of focus on sustainability; it provides a comparison between projects in the same sector and sub-sector and facilitates investment decisions, showing the highest and lowest alignment of projects to the SDGs.
